This seems like a nice pairing with a handheld

Another great option OneDock EGPU. The PSU can be a laptop charger intead of this whole block, if you value portability. (+ cleaner look) It also support thunerbolt 4 and Occulink.

A major problem you will have is the T480 only has x2 lanes dedicated to the Thunderbolt. Sad really. At least with the newer Lenovo is adding an Occulink port. And an Occulink dock is only $30-40

what is the port…m.2 or thunderbolt

I'd love to get a BeeLink mini pc and connect this up to it. Maybe I could get a used 1060 6GB card and an SER5 mini pc. The SER5 mini pc is around €330 or £280, the gpu is about €85 (including delivery) and the egpu is about €150. So for about €550 or €500 if you got the egpu cheaper, you could have a pretty kick ass little pc setup. Just use the mini pc when you are just doing general web browing to save power but when you want to game just simply plug in the gpu and away you go.

great video!

This works very well with all the 2018 Mac Minis out there. They have 8th Gen multi-core i3s, i5s, and i7s. Their downside is Intel integrated graphics. In fact, until the M1 Macs, they were the system of choice for many video editors. As you mentioned early in your video, the cost of eGPUs has been historically high. This $100 option brings that into the realm of usability.

TDP of the CPU is limiting the already weak CPU. Also the voltages are high for the frecuency. 3.5Ghz on 14NM+++ needs 0.980 mV.

Would having an external colling cpu system be better for a 24/7 gaming laptop ? or do gaming laptops get hot ? I love this idea for having the option to not use so much power for glamping/solar setup.

i see Jason vid, i click (I have exams tomorrow)

Literally my laptop except mine had 16gb + 1tb storage. I think a cooling pad or leaving the lid open ( screen off) might help to stabilize the lows. Although the bottleneck is inevitable thunderbolt 3 has an x4 lanes for the PCIe at 5 Gbps vs a desktop X16 or x32, ~20-30% hit vs a desktop but hey it can run Crysis!

subscribed i used a old OptiPlex 3010 to game on, years ago hehe

That LTT Screw driver earned this sub

At the time of this comment I just got a really good deal from Microcenter on a 12600kf, an MSI Pro Z790-P Wifi DDR4, 16 gigs 3200 memory for $250- bought individually I priced it at between 400-500. Pretty sure they still have the deal going on. If you need a cheap good gaming build that's what I'd be looking at. The wifi on this board is really good too.

dude i have a legion go, and a rx7600 pc desktop, and im moving out so i cant take the Desktop, so i was searching cheap solution as Egpu or selling the PC. and now i can use my GPU and PSU from my desktop to were i go until i build a new one

this sounds great for xmas when i go to my parents and can only bring a laptop. can just pop your gpu and a psu and away you go!

Think the ideal usecase for the eGPU is handhelds ... I have just bought the Lenovo Go, and like the form factor and am thinking of retiring my gaming desktop, pulling out the 2070super and doing this. I assume the AMD Extreme is a much more capable CPU than the i5. The Go is a pretty decent setup, and I was starting to move away from gaming...3 days in, and its been a bit of a reset for me. Started buying some indie games, in-between PC, Console, and Mobile phone games. Early days but the more flexible form factor is interesting.

I have a NUC with a 1165 and still my older 580. I think this could be fun.

I want one of these simply to run 4 4k monitors for work

My lenevo loq 16 with a 4050 and a thunderbolt 4 would really benefit from this.

Just FYI. You can split the 24 pin and 8 pin and run 2 GPUs with one PSU with those setups.

would this work with a zbook g3?

this is COOL! 👌

i have a dell g15 5515 ryzen edition it has a 3050 ti laptop gup in it would it help preformance to get one of these with another graphics card??

I run ai art on my 3080ti all day which uses 70-100% of the gpu so I was thinking about running this setup with my old 2080ti on a laptop for gaming.

You should use oculink, its cheap has better performance than Thunderbolt, only side effect is, you need to turn off your computer and then you plug your graphics card

I will double check, but I think the T480 only has x2 lanes for the M.2 and x2 for Thunderbolt. So minimal if any gains, and you will have trouble with storage because there is not a lot of choice. Maybe 2242 M.2 SATA is the only other option.

my laptop has a 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C, would it be compatible which is a gen 3 port

Well, I guess I've found my next "litte brother" gaming pc.

Nice logitech k400+ lol. Thought I was the only person who used one

yup. and the total cost, much less than building a PC desktop with a 3060 Ti. i encourage this kind of "economical" solutions. dont get dictated by industry and "brands trends". just do it the way you prefer it. kudos for those small companies that are making those kind of cheap desktop GPU thunderbolt/USB4 docks. thats the "cyberpunk" way.

regular usb-c will never support EGPU, it's just not physically possible. if you don't have thunderbolt 3/4/(and soon 5) or USB4 (basically same thing), your 2 other options are connecting the GPU through the M.2 NVME slot (nearly all devices have those) or with an occulink port if your device has one (which is very rare).

@@JasonWitmerYT Alright, Thanks

All of my laptops are too cheap to be able to add an eGPU. Like, seriously, who do they make eGPUs for? The sort of thing someone on a budget might use. But there are no budget laptops with Thunderbolt ports and by the time you buy a laptop with Thunderbolt, you might as well just get one with a GPU in it already because it will likely be cheaper. It isn't like you're going to be tossing a 4090 in an enclosure to use with a midrange laptop. Well, you shouldn't be if you know what you're doing with computers. The whole concept of an eGPU just seems kinda silly to me. Laptops in general don't make good gaming devices. They are intended to mainly be portable general use PCs. When I go somewhere for pleasure, gaming is usually the last thing on my mind. I'm not going to be wasting a trip to the beach with my nose in a screen. If you really want a portable gaming machine, a handheld is infinitely better. Using an eGPU is sort of like dragging an anchor behind you with your car as you drive down the road. Why buy a laptop when you're just going to effectively turn it into a desktop anyway. Just build a small desktop for travel. If you are that obsessed with size, you might want to speak to a therapist. I have a bad back and I'm not going to be quibbling about hauling around a compact desktop, small monitor and peripherals so I can play games in my hotel room or something. You can fit a ca. 3l build in a suitcase with small monitor and peripherals. I'd probably get a Pelican case knockoff for it. You can pay a premium to have it a little more compact but using an eGPU eliminates any advantage a laptop has, while still suffering the same drawbacks.

@Shrek_The_Mathematician

Ай бұрын

usually you leave the EGPU at home and dock your device into it. When you're away from home you just bring your device, not the egpu. nowadays thunderbolt 3/4 and USB4 are becoming more and more common on regular laptops. if you don't have thunderbolt 3/4 or USB4 you can always plug the gpu into the M.2 NVME slot of your laptop but this usually requires you to remove the bottom cover or cut a hole into it. btw the laptop in this video can be had for fairly cheap, used business and refurbished thinkpads can be had on amazon/ebay/craigslist for between $200 and $400 depending on the specs.

@ChucksSEADnDEAD

Most people still use their laptops on tables/desks. You almost never see anyone at the beach with a laptop. The entire point with an eGPU is that you can leave it at home and use the laptop as a fixed PC, but when you leave for work or classes you just take the laptop and don't use it for gaming.

if you combine an intel core i5 8350u processor and an rtx 3060TI, you will have a bottleneck, the processor is simply too weak for this graphics. Bottleneck is around 40%..bottleneck should not exceed 5%. at 4:00 you said cpu is maxed out and its becouse of bottleneck.
